Found on a walk. Surprisingly there are still plants in bloom.
There weather here is cool nights, wet foggy mornings, warm sunny days. There are somethings that must like that, beside people.

Will Not End Well, Spoonbills
When the fourth Spoonbill came into the marsh I quickly grabbed this. They were all climbing around the same dead branches.
Experience told me this would ultimately be interesting. The clowns cannot behave when a good game of ‘king of the hill’ can be had.
I was disappointed, but later on I from down the dike I could see some typical pushing and shoving.
Here even a basic ‘bird on a tree’ shot is better with big pink critters.
Ashepoo River Marsh
This was taken at sunrise from a dike alongside the Ashepoo River. I was looking for a quick spot to catch the light and remembered this from several years ago.
No clue what I had for lunch, selective memory works out at times.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Golden Hour Birds
Three images taken during the morning golden hour. In most cases this is an ideal time to shoot. However, around water I find it can be tricky.
Above a Great Blue Heron was still hunkered down on an old wooden post that sites out in the marsh.
Next is a Tricolored Heron in the shallows. The light worked nice on his fall coloring.
The final image is a group of Roseate Spoonbills that were still sleeping in the reeds. This was one of the first wildlife photographs of the day. I had been shooting landscapes and just switched cameras. Fortunately the settings were good. It’s still dark and my glasses on chilly days like this are buried in a pocket four layers deep😂🤣 .

Marsh Dawn
A wildlife management area back road.
As long as the days are warm and nights cool we should probably have some amount of morning fog.
Fall Great Blue
One of the few trees out here that has a ‘New England’ red look. I’m not sure what type it is, pretty though.
Tricolored Heron
A note to self here; pay attention to the marsh reeds across from the big Bear Island dike causeway. It seems to have become a hangout.
This heron was just one of several different species I have seen there recently. When crossing the water everyone looks out over the big expanse. Ha! These critters may have been in plan sight for a while now. 😂
ACE Basin Sunrise
Looking out over a marsh filled by the nearby Ashepoo River.
